CR to run 18 additional services from Nov 1 with extra halts at Diva, more ladies coaches

The Mumbai division of Central Railway (CR) will run 18 additional suburban services on the main line from November 1, 2017, when its new timetable comes into effect.

The re-scheduling under the new timetable will provide CR 15 to 30 minutes of additional maintenance time at night, which will allow servicemen to keep the tracks in a better condition.

Under the new timetable, CR will introduce 25 new services. However, 7 existing services will be cancelled for enhancement of corridor block, resulting in a net increase of 18 services.

Since Dadar, Vidyavihar and Thane stations have witnessed a major surge in traffic, commuters travelling from these stations will benefit from the new services.

In addition, passengers traveling to and from Diva station, which has witnessed multiple protests over the last few months, will also benefit from the 22 additional halts for fast trains. The halts will increase from 24 to 46 from November 1.

Another highlight of the new schedule is the additional accommodation, in the form of three extra coaches, for female commuters travelling from far-off suburbs during peak hours.

The extra coaches will be included in the Titwala-Dadar and Badlapur-Dadar locals, which leave at 8:10 am and 8:45 am respectively.

With the introduction of new services, the daily services on the main line will increase from 838 to 856, while the total suburban services will increase from 1688 to 1706.
